What is the difference between this event and Music Education Week?

Music Education Week is MENC’s premier annual event built around a format different from that of past national biennial conferences. This format is designed to provide members with opportunities for music education advocacy, intensive professional development, networking with industry representatives, and performances in a destination location on an annual basis, and during the summer instead of the school year.
